Egg yolk is widely used to extract lecithin, which is utilized in the food and cosmetics industry. After lecithin is removed, the rest of egg yolk is generated as a by-product. Thus, it is necessary to properly utilize it. In this study, egg yolk protein extracts were produced using ethanol (EYE-E) and water (EYE-W). Their antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects were then evaluated. Antioxidant activities of EYE-E and EYE-W were determined using cellular antioxidant capacity (CAC) assay and comet assay. EYE-E and EYE-W showed significant (p<0.05) scavenging effects on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a dose dependent manner. At a concentration of 50 ㎍/mL, EYE-W showed higher (p<0.05) antioxidant activity than EYE-E. EYE-E and EYE-W also exhibited protective effects against DNA damage caused by oxidative stress. After treatment with EYE-E and EYE-W, DNA damage level of 48.7% due to oxidative stress was decreased to 36.2% and 31.8% levels, respectively. In addition, EYE-E and EYE-W showed immunomodulatory effects by regulating Th1 cytokines (TNF-α and IL-2) and Th2 cytokines (IL-10 and IL-4) in Balb/c mouse splenocytes. These data suggest that EYE-E and EYE-W could be used as functional food ingredients with excellent antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities in the food industry.

소프트콘택트렌즈의 단백질 부착은 미생물에 의한 감염을 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 이물감이나 흐릿한 시야를 비롯한 착용감의 저하 등과 같은 많은 부작용을 유발할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 20대 20명(40안)이 착용한 소프트콘택트렌즈에의 단백질 부착 양상을 착용시간별로 조사하고, 렌즈의 접촉각과 총 가시광선 투과도에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 또한 각막의 용도 및 pH 변화가 단백질의 부착에 미치는 영향에 대하여서도 연구하였다. Etafilcon A 재질의 2주착용 소프트콘택트렌즈는 다목적용액으로 매일 관리를 하였음에도 불구하고 렌즈에 단백질이 남아있었으며 착용이 계속됨에 따라 정점 부착되는 단백질의 양도 증가하여 착용 후 14일이 지난 렌즈의 경우는 이미 렌즈의 접촉각이 통계적으로 유의성있게 크게 증가하여 렌즈 표면의 습윤성에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 총 가시광선 투과량도 7% 정도 감소하였음을 확인하였다. 또한 소프트콘택트렌즈에서 단백질의 부착은 누액의 온도가 증가할수록 많아졌으며 누액의 pH가 중성인 경우 단백질의 부착양이 가장 적었으며 산성이나 알칼리성으로 갈수록 부착되는 단백질의 양이 증가하였다. 연속착용렌즈 착용시에는 눈을 뜨고 있는 활동시간보다 눈을 감고 있는 수면 중에 렌즈에 부착되는 단백질의 양이 크게 증가하였으며 이러한 결과는 성별과 관계없이 동일하였다. 연속착용렌즈를 8시간동안 착용하였을 때 렌즈에 부착된 단백질의 양은 렌즈 표면의 접촉각과 총 가시광선 투과도에 큰 변화를 주지는 않았다.

목적: 안경용 초음파세척기를 이용하여 소프트콘택트렌즈의 단백질 침전물 세척 효과와 콘택트렌즈의 변수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 방법: 단백질을 오염시킨 etafilcon A 재질의 소프트콘택트렌즈를 다목적용액에 넣어 안경용 초음파세척기와 콘택트렌즈용 초음파세척기를 사용하여 세척하고 대조군의 콘택트렌즈는 다목적용액으로 세척한 후 콘택트렌즈에 남아있는 단백질을 추출하여 정량하였고 콘택트렌즈의 전체지름, 베이스커브, 중심두께, 도수 및 함수율의 변화를 측정하였으며 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscope)으로 콘택트렌즈 표면을 관찰하였다. 결과: 단백질을 오염시킨 etafilcon A 재질의 콘택트렌즈는 다목적용액에 의해 6.08%의 세척효과를 보였고, 다목적용액에 콘택트렌즈를 넣고 초음파세척기로 세척한 경우에는 시간에 따라 안경용 초음파세척기에서는 23.73~33.92%, 콘택트렌즈용 초음파세척기에서는 0~12.99%의 세척효과를 보였다. 결론: 안경용 초음파세척기로 세척한 콘택트렌즈에서 변수 및 표면 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 안경원에서 사용하는 안경용 초음파세척기는 소프트콘택트렌즈의 단백질 침전물 제거에 효과적이고 변수 변화를 유발하지 않아 안경원에서 진단용 소프트렌즈의 세척에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A 14-year-old, male Shih-tzu was presented with glaucoma in the left eye. Menace response was negative in the left eye. On ophthalmic examination, exotropia, buphthalmos, bulging of upper lateral globe and episcleral injection was detected in the left eye. Also, there was corneal edema, corneal pigmentation and hyphema in the left eye. The pupil was difficult to observe due to corneal lesions in the left eye. On ultrasonographic examination, an amorphous large mass protruding from the region of the optic disc into the vitreous was observed in the left eye. Enucleation was performed in the left eye. Histologically, the left intraocular mass was diagnosed as glioma. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive to glial fibrillary acidic protein.

As FK506 binding proteins (FK506BPs) are known to play an important role in the regulation of a variety of biological processes related to cell survival, this study was designed to examined the protective effects of FK506 binding protein 12 (FK506BP) on low humidity air flow induced dry eye in a rat model using transduced PEP-1-FK506BP. After the topical application of PEP-1-FK506BP, tear volumes were markedly increased and significant prevention of cornea damage was observed compared with dry eye rats. Further, immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that PEP-1-FK506BP markedly prevented damage to the cornea, the bulbar conjunctiva, and the palpebral conjunctiva epithelial lining compared with dry eye rats. In addition, caspase-3 and PARP expression levels were found to be decreased. These results demonstrated that topical application of PEP-1-FK506BP significantly ameliorates dry eye injury in an animal model. Thus, we suggest that PEP-1-FK506BP can be developed as a new ophthalmic drop to treat dry eye diseases.

FK506 binding protein 12 (FK506BP) belongs to a family of immunophilins, and is involved in multiple biological processes. However, the function of FK506BP in corneal disease remains unclear. In this study, we examined the protective effects on dry eye disease in a Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) induced mouse model, using a cell-permeable PEP-1-FK506BP protein. PEP-1-FK506BP efficiently transduced into human corneal epithelial cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and remained stable in the cells for 48 h. In addition, we demonstrated that topical application of PEP-1-FK506BP was transduced into mouse cornea and conjunctiva by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, topical application of PEP-1-FK506BP to BTX-A-induced mouse model markedly inhibited expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-$1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$), tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) and macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) in corneal and conjunctival epithelium. These results suggest PEP-1-FK506BP as a potential therapeutic agent for dry eye diseases.

Olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus is one of the most widely cultured fish species in Korea. Although olive flounder receive attention from aquaculture and fisheries and extensive research has been conducted eye morphological change in metamorphosis, but little information was known to molecular mechanism and gene expression of eye development- related genes during the early part of eye formation period. For the reason of eyesight is the most important sense in flounder larvae to search prey, the screening and identification of expressed genes in the eye will provide useful insight into the molecular regulation mechanism of eye development in olive flounder. Through the search of an olive flounder DNA database of expressed sequence tags (EST), we found a partial sequence that was similar to crystallin beta A1 and gamma S. Microscopic observation of retinal formation correspond with the time of expression of the crystallin beta A1 and gamma S gene in the developmental stage, these result suggesting that beta A1 and gamma S play a vital role in the remodeling of the retina during eye development. The expression of crystallin beta A1 and gamma S were obviously strong in eye at all tested developing stage, it is also hypothesized that crystallin acts as a molecular chaperone to prevent protein aggregation during maturation and aging in the eye.

To identify transcriptional markers for beef traits related to meat tenderness and moisture, we measured the transcriptome of the Longissimus dorsi skeletal muscle in 10 Korean native cattle (KNC). We analyzed the correlation between the beef transcriptome and measurements of four different beef traits, shear force (SF), water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL), and loin eye area (LEA). We obtained non-overlapping and unique panels of genes showing strong correlations (${\mid}r{\mid}$ > 0.8) with SF, WHC, CL, and LEA, respectively. Functional studies of these genes indicated that SF was mainly related to energy metabolism, and LEA to rRNA processing. Interestingly, our data suggested that WHC is influenced by protein metabolism. Overall, the skeletal muscle transcriptome pointed to the importance of energy and protein metabolism in determining meat quality after the aging process. The panels of transcripts for beef traits may be useful for predicting meat tenderness and moisture.
